"What do you need to hear in order to make this decision?" WISN 12 News reporter Kent Wainscott asked.

"Well there's a couple different things," Walker said.

Things including the support of other tribes, job gains in Kenosha versus jobs lost at Milwaukee's casino and the gaming compacts each tribe signed with the state a decade ago.

The governor told Wainscott one of those compacts calls for the state to refund millions of dollars if a Kenosha casino is approved.

"There's at least three compacts that tribes have with the state that if a casino was built in Kenosha would be invoked, and one of them for example, the state could lose as much as seven years of back payments that we would have to refund to that tribe potentially depending on if a casino was built or not. That blows a big hole in our state's budget," Walker said.

The Potawatomi, with its Milwaukee casino and yet-to-be completed high-rise hotel, stands to lose the most from a competing casino a little more than 30 miles away.

Potawatomi spokesman Ken Walsh confirmed for WISN 12 News that approval of a Kenosha casino would trigger what he called an adjustment in previous payments to state, which reportedly amount to more than $20 million a year, which may pose a significant obstacle as the governor searches for what he calls a win-win solution.

"And do so in a way that doesn't create a big hole in our budget," Walker said.

Wainscott also contacted the Menominee tribe. A spokesman told him they see nothing in the Potawatomis' compact or any tribal compact that specifically addresses a refund that goes back seven years.

But he did say there is language that could lead to some compacts being renegotiated if the Kenosha casino is approved.
